Recenter Map To This Location

If you’ve spent the night in the Salem and Marblehead area, you’ll now be facing the choice of a second day on the North Shore or moving onward into Maine. I recommend that you drive to Gloucester to visit Beauport, the Cape Ann Historical Museum, and, if time permits, the Hammond Castle Museum. The castle was built by John Hays Hammond, Jr., "the father of the remote control", between 1926 and 1929. Mr Hammond was a prolific inventor, second only to Thomas Edison, with over 400 registered patents.
